About Us

Indiehitmaker helps any artist of any genre successfully release music, win fans, sell more and make it count on the charts.

MAKING IT COUNT ONE RELEASE AT A TIME

Since 2007, Indiehitmaker (IHM) has put countless artists on Billboard charts without a record label or distribution deal. Today, we help artists successfully release music. Let IHM guide you through the release process to maximize profits, advance careers and avoid the pitfalls of bad deals, being dropped or worse, shelved and your music never released.

After your release drops, IHM reports all your sales numbers to Soundscan and BuzzAngle, getting you on multiple charts across the industry’s most respected media outlets.

WHETHER YOU WANT TO GET SIGNED OR REMAIN INDEPENDENT COUNT ON IHM AS A TRUSTED PARTNER

By reporting all your online & live show music sales to SoundScan & BuzzAngle you will build artist credibility and gain industry attention. Sell enough and everyone will know when you chart on Billboard, Pollstar, MusicWeek, Ai2N and more.

Regardless if you want to remain independent, looking for a label deal or need industry support, Indiehitmaker can help speed up your career and make it count.

WHY WE ARE DOING THIS

For most artists, 90%-95% of your revenue comes from playing live shows and online engagement – the last place an artist truly holds creative control and the majority of the money. And unlike most things that are constantly changing in the music industry, the live show and your official website will never go away. We make sure these sales count by reporting them to Soundscan & BuzzAngle, providing you, the artist, industry proof to advance your career. Not selling enough? Our tools & services help you engage your audience whether online or onstage to win more fans, sell more merch and make it count on the charts.

CLIENT, PUBLICIST & MANAGER STEPHANIE CHRISTIE SAYS IT BETTER:

“Having an artist out on the road and selling units is wonderful, but until we began reporting those units through Indiehitmaker those sales numbers had very little impact beyond their initial net profit. Sure it’s great to sell 40 CD’s at a show. At $5 each, the band has generated somewhere around $125 net profit, which can fill the gas tank, but the real value for an independent artist is in the numbers that are reported and viewed by the industry. Over the course of a successful tour, the band was able to report a couple thousand CD’s sold and was able to chart on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts as an unsigned artist. I can’t put a dollar value on that. It is virtually priceless. Record Labels, Promoters, Booking Agents, Investors and even Brand Affiliates want numbers. My advice to artists is this- You worked hard and sold CD’s. You generated those numbers, but if you don’t report them they don’t really count. IHM makes it easy. “

About IHM

Indiehitmaker (IHM) is the cornerstone of PolyPlat Records ADSD, the Artist Development Services Division that provides independent, unsigned and DIY artists the same advantages as major label recording artists and... +more

IndieHitMaker exists because artists cannot directly report their live show sales to SoundScan. Only record labels and distribution companies that pay the annual fees and fit the mandated requirements can qualify for this exclusive program. Since most independent and unsigned artists sell the majority of their CDs at live shows, without IndieHitMaker these sales would go unreported and unaccounted for in US SoundScan sales numbers making it next to impossible for industry executives, deal makers, and A&R to discover you. By simply reporting all your sales to SoundScan, you can significantly increase your awareness within the industry. Sell enough and everyone will know when you get on the Billboard Charts.
